Any indication of how quiet it will be? It's a cooler running camera, but assume there's still a fan.

I'm sure lessons have been learnt on cooling from the RED One and of course the Alexa's 20dB?

Just a thought - if the fan is in the brain, and of course all the metal casings will be acting as heatsinks - but if we are stacking the maximum number of modules possible on the back, is there a chance the last modules will be insufficiently cooled?

Or does each module come with a fan - that could be a noise issue?

Whatever - I'm still stoked!!

I'm pretty sure CF recording boards or what not make A LOT LESS heat than a CMOS sensor running at 100 fps.

We've never seen fans in any of the modules be it render or mock ups.

There's no use arguing over that which is inconceivable

Powerful specs, heat/cooling and fan noise are all part of the difficulty of what we are doing. If we had just put everything in the same size box as RED ONE... we'd have no issues whatsoever. But we couldn't do that! :-)
